A volatile week usually produces three things: sharp intraday moves, confident explanations after the fact, and a strong urge to act. Only the first is data.
Before changing anything in your portfolio, confirm whether your original reason for holding has changed. If the business, the fund mandate or your goal timeline is unchanged, a price move alone is not a reason to sell.
For traders, volatility changes position sizing before it changes strategy. If average range doubles, the same rupee risk means roughly half the position size.
Write down what you would do at specific levels before the market opens. Decisions made in advance are cheaper than decisions made during a move.
